How The Culture Makes Us FEEL LOST & Leads To TRAUMA | Dr. James Gordon & Mark Hyman

Trauma isn’t just psychological; it impacts us all the way down to our genes. And those epigenetic changes don’t just stay with us—they can be passed down through several generations. That means the trauma we may be working through isn’t just our own, it’s the stress and trauma of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. I know this might sound bleak, but today’s conversation on The Doctor’s Farmacy with Dr. James Gordon is about healing from all types of trauma to find greater mind-body peace.

Dr. James Gordon, author of Transforming Trauma: The Path to Hope and Healing, is a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, and the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C. Dr. Gordon is internationally recognized for using self-awareness, self-care, and group support to heal population-wide psychological trauma. He is a clinical professor at Georgetown Medical School and was chairman (under Presidents Clinton and G.W. Bush) of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy.

As psychotherapist and nutritionist and human being, I just love the open, courageous self- disclosures of Dr Hyman! His humaneness melts my heart and fills my spirit with love!

EMDR has changed my life. The therapist I had in the last year encouraged me to do the bilateral tapping and work through thoughts and feelings as they occurred in addition to the sessions. I can work with life as it happens instead of freezing and building up tension until I was a hot mess of anxiety and depression.

One of the greatest, shared cultural trauma in our country is our for profit healthcare system, wherein illness creates horrible fear and stress in people. We must have universal healthcare!

This program is essential for military members who have suffered multiple effects of trauma.

What a great conversation to have, share and apply in all of our lives and relationships…internal self care, close intimate and external personal social…and political!

I went through this process of humanizing one time in my life when I was calling my health insurance company everyday demanding that they cover more than drugs for therapy in healing the recently appeared epilepsy. Every day, day after day, I asked for the same insurance agent, to talk to her about the situation. Slowly she and I got to know one another, and eventually she was my friend, helping me in healing. She got agreement to cover other therapy. I wrote about this in my book, "SEIZED - Searching for Health In the United States"

Another amazing and insightful episode and interview. Lots of people are in trauma at this age. This is very timely. Thanks Dr. Hyman and Dr. Gordon!

[Gernatch]

Had some major trauma lately. This is encouraging. Thanks for this content.

Dr. Hyman, I would imagine you have deep conversations with your business partner Dhru Purohit who is also on a healing journey from his trauma, as far as I understand from some of his interviews. I would suppose that it would be wise to open deeply and intimately up to several if not, many people, particularly to those that do not share our same reality and thus keep our world intact.

I experienced childhood trauma and adult trauma and I noticed my daughter doesn’t handle stress well

[bertinamartinez]

Food will bring people together. We are learning that we have been deceived by the industry and it really gets me angry. Please keep your hard work forward as I am one of the people that is healed with food thank you

[hollyeckert]

I appreciate this interview. In order to bring people together in the United States, I believe, we need to let go of the absolutist belief in capitalism. Let's begin to start talking about different options, no black and whites, no absolutes of anything, no absolute capitalism and no absolute socialist. We must grow out of this argument and then reach out to one another and devise new options.

I just finished watching "Quiet Explosions-Healing the brain" on prime video. Although the video was very informative, I would love to see more inclusive data around the impact of slavery on Black Americans. Even in this presentation it's mentioned by James Gordon- "We know now through studies of animals and Holocaust survivors, that this trauma can be transmitted for up to 3 generations."
How is it that you doctors always skip over the survivors of Slavery? Why isn't this beautiful work to heal trauma focusing on the repair of African Americans also?
